\"Father<\/a>

Maurice Gordon’s quick action saved his daughter from a crazed neighbor last week.<\/p><\/div>\n

A father in Bloomfield, Ct., used his handgun to save his daughter from a neighbor who was attempting to rape her, local media reported last week.<\/p>\n

Maurice Gordon saw his 30-year-old daughter being attacked by one of his neighbors, Michael Farrigon, 43, while the woman was parked in the driveway of Gordon\u2019s home. Farrigon approached the car, opened the door, and said he wanted to rape her.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe went from the passenger side and was holding onto her saying that he wanted to\u00a0rape\u00a0her,\u201d Gordon told local media<\/a> on Friday.<\/p>\n

The woman honked the horn and screamed, and soon escaped the car and fled to the house.<\/p>\n

Farrigon followed and was met by Gordon at the door.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe came up on the step and said \u2018I love your daughter, I want to rape your daughter,\u2019\u201d Gordon said.<\/p>\n

The two men started wrestling, and Gordon called for his wife to bring his gun.<\/p>\n

Gordon brandished the gun at Farrigon and told him to leave.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hold the gun in my right [hand] and I said, \u2018Mike I don\u2019t want to hurt you please get off my property.\u2019\u00a0 Even with the gun in my hand I could see that he had no fear.\u201d<\/p>\n

Not wanting to hurt his neighbor, Gordon fired a warning shot into the sky.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had no choice than to fire,\u201d Gordon said, \u201cbecause I didn\u2019t want to hurt him, so I fired a shot.\u201d<\/p>\n

Farrigon left, but returned soon after, so Gordon fired a second warning shot.<\/p>\n

By this time police had arrived, and body cam footage shows officers subduing Farrigon and taking him into custody. He was arrested and charged with Unlawful Restraint, Attempted Sexual Assault, Attempted Home Invasion, and other offenses.<\/p>\n

Warning shots are not illegal, but prosecutors can use them to prove that the use of deadly force was not necessary. Warning shots can also cause unintended harm, as Massad Ayood explained to NPR<\/a> last year:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you raise the gun and blindly fire, you don’t know where that bullet will land,\u201d he said. \u201cA few decades ago I followed a case in New England where the guy raised his gun, fired what he thought was into the air, and the bullet struck and killed someone on the top floor porch of a nearby tenement building.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gordon\u2019s shots do not appear to have caused any damage, and local media reports that Bloomfield Police detectives \u201cconferred with the CT State\u2019s Attorney Office while at the scene and were advised that criminal charges for the father would not be applicable for firing the weapon in this incident.\u201d<\/p>\n
